Any claim for damages other than to the centrifugal spreader shall be precluded. By deciding to purchase an AMAZONE fertilizer spreader you get access to the “AMAZONE Fertilizer Advisory Service” because we want you to work economically and eco-friendly. The AMAZONE Fertilizer Advisory Service will determine the individual spreading properties of your fertilizer by testing a 3 kg fertilizer sample and give you setting recommendations for your desired working width(s).

General Instructions for avoiding spreading errors Store the fertilizer properly (refer to manufacturer's instructions) Adjust the machine in accordance with the setting charts, the Internet database and observing the recommended instructions in the operator manual. Check the spread rate before starting spreading. Check the adjusted working width (distance between the tramlines) using the mobile test kit (optional equipment) when using unknown types of fertilizer and also for general checking purposes.

Twin disc spreaders Spreading discs With a twin disc spreader from AMAZONE it is possible to spread various working widths with only one set of spreading discs. Refer to the setting chart, the Internet database or the recommended adjustments for information about which spreading disc is required for which working width.

Turning the spreading vanes in the direction of rotation (Fig. 1/A) of the spreading discs (to a higher numerical scale value) will increase the working width. Turning them in the opposite direction (Fig. 1/B) will reduce the working width. The shorter spreading vane distributes the fertilizer primarily in the center of the spread pattern, whereas the longer vane covers the outer area.

Almost full fertilization up to the field edge is achieved, if you may fertilise beyond the field edge, e.g. your own, adjacent fields to be treated identically (except near surface water). In this way any underfertilized edge strips are avoided. Do not reduce the slide position in these cases. You will find the settings for the respective fertilizers in this setting chart.

When carrying out side, boundary or water course spreading 6.4.1 With hydraulic spreading disc drive The adjustment of the spreading disc on the field edge side depends on the working width, the kind of fertilizer, the spreading mode (side, boundary or water course spreading) and the spreading disc. Effect of speed changes: Speed increase: spreading range larger, spread pattern flatter Speed reduction: spreading range smaller, spread pattern steeper...

Conversion to US Customary Units measurements If you are more familiar with the US Customary rates (for example: lbs/ac. or mph) the following conversion system will be convenient. To find the rate of lbs/ac. calculate the given rates in kg/ha (kilograms per hectare). Example: CAN 27%N 1 ha = 2.47 ac.
